That is true, but our goal is to return the top X hits. Some of the potential matches are single characters (like 'F' for Ford) so we want to apply the filter. Of course the partial matches are unlikely to be the user's targeted match. I guess for 1 or 2 character inputs we could apply only exact matches and on 3 or more apply the partial matches. >You could look at the n-gram tokenizers (I confess I haven't used them >so I'm not all *that* familiar with them). Or you could make a rule like >"no autocomplete until the user types 3 characters" if that would work. This sounds interesting. I will take a look.
